Balvenie 14 Year Old Roasted Malt: A Whisky Masterpiece
Distinctive Origins and Craftsmanship
Indulge in the unparalleled craftsmanship of The Balvenie 14 Year Old Roasted Malt, a groundbreaking single malt Scotch whisky that pushes the boundaries of traditional distillation. The year 2006 marked a historic moment as The Balvenie introduced the world to the first-ever single malt Scotch crafted using a batch of dark roasted malted barley, a technique commonly reserved for stout production.
The Unconventional Journey of Roasted Barley
Venture back to the summer of 1992, a pivotal period in The Balvenie’s history. A select batch of barley underwent a unique 24-hour germination process, deviating from the customary five days. This barley was then subjected to an intense roasting process in a drum heated to a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade. The result? A malted barley with an extraordinary European Brewing Colour (EBC) range of 1600 to 1800 units, far surpassing the typical 30 units found in regular malted barley.
Exclusive Limited Edition Production
This limited edition Balvenie, aged for a commendable 14 years, emerges from a single batch carefully stored in just 34 casks. Embracing a non-chill filtered approach, the whisky bears a robust 47.1% alcohol by volume (abv). Each bottle encapsulates the essence of The Balvenie’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
A Symphony of Aromas and Flavors
The Balvenie Roasted Malt captivates the senses with its characteristic fruity, floral, and honey notes, harmoniously intertwined with subtle nuances of toasted oats, vanilla, and spicy oakiness. The palate reveals a rich and malty texture, offering a silky smooth experience. Delight in hints of toffee, marmalade, honey, and oak tannin, all enveloped by a spicy, vanilla sweetness that lingers.
A Satisfying Culmination
The journey concludes with a long, rich, and satisfying finish, leaving a lasting impression on the discerning whisky connoisseur. Elevate your tasting experience with The Balvenie 14 Year Old Roasted Malt – an extraordinary expression of innovation, tradition, and the mastery of whisky craftsmanship.
